The chemistry between the three leads is where this movie really excels.

Keep an eye out for Duke's son Patrick Wayne is a smallish role, Lee Marvin nearly stealing the movie in his one major scene, and Jack Elam in a bit role as a henchman near the end.

Also of interest this Michael Curtiz's (Adventures of Robin Hood, Casablanca) final directorial effort. Duke stepped in to complete the picture when Curtiz became too ill from cancer to continue.

Apparently according to the tracking it’s arriving today. I also ordered Chisum and Big Jake so when I’m off on Friday I’ll be watching those three. Would like to get Mclintock next and Cahill. Reckon it won’t be long before I have over 20 of his films. I’ve also ordered TheAlamo on dvd, shame there’s no Blu ray.
